Layla walked alongside Nolan as they both left for home. On their way to the elevator, he suddenly asked a shocking question."Do you take birth control pills?" Layla froze in the spot as her heart stopped working.What the hell was he sprouting out of his mouth?"Birth control what?" She stammered in confusion."Pills.." he completed as they stepped into the elevator."No, no, I don't take them, why are you asking?" she grilled curiously."So you can start taking them," he replied curtly.He had a lot of things to settle and being a father was not one of them, at least not now."I…I.." Layla's voice trailed as she was completely out of words. If she was hearing right, this was Nolan telling her to start taking birth control pills, for what?So she wouldn't get pregnant? But she already was!"You don't want to be a father?" She drew out word by word as he abruptly turned to face her."No.." he responded. "And don't even think of getting pregnant.." he warned as Layla breathed hitched.
"Get into the car Layla.." Nolan said again this time his voice laced with impatient. She had been standing unmoving for quite some time now."Go on, get in…" Xander motioned for Layla to go. Layla began to move her feet as she walked slowly to Nolan's car."Bye Layla, take care of yourself.." Xander waved at her."Aren't you going home?" She asked after getting in the back seat."I have something to deal with.." he replied as Nolan soon started the car, driving off. **********Nolan parked his car at his garage and he stepped out Carla followed suit, Layla doing the same."Hmmm.." Carla inhaled deeply as she breathed in fresh air. She was finally at Nolan's house. It took a lot of persuasion to come here in the past and she'd never stay more than an hour."Nolan, how about we have some drinks, what do you say?" She suggested happily. She planned to come here and spend some time with Nolan. Good quality time."I'm busy.." came his curt reply as he went straight into his room.
Layla yawned stepping out from her room it was late at night about 3 o'clock. She couldn't get some sleep so she wanted to grab a glass of milk to help herself.She was walking to the fridge when she heard a slight noise."Who's there?" She mumbled to herself wondering if it was Maddox there but she remembered seeing Maddox a few minutes ago sleeping near her door side. Well Maddox seemed to act clingy to get these days, it seemed as if he liked her a lot"Then who's it?" She asked herself curiously. She was sure Carla was inside sleeping, they both retired to bed at the same time.Taking quiet steps towards the kitchen, she saw a male fighter standing by the counter dressed in all black."Nolan.." she called softly unsure if he was the one. But Nolan was the only person she knew who loved dressing in black colored clothes as he was mourning someone, she couldn't even recollect if she'd ever seen him wearing colorful clothes. It was always black."Hmm," he responded turning to face he
A loud sound was heard as the glass Layla was holding unconsciously fell from her hands into the sink, she was still registering what he had said to her when Nolan turned her around and carried her up making her seat on the kitchen counter.Layla's heart was racing as Nolan lifted her up and set her down on the counter. His gaze was intense, and she felt a thrill of excitement run through her. "Are you sure about this?" he asked, his voice low and husky. Layla couldn't speak, so she just nodded. "Okay," he said, his eyes never leaving hers. "I'm going to kiss you now." Layla closed her eyes, her heart beating so fast she thought it might burst out of her chest.The kiss was soft and gentle at first, and Layla's body melted into Nolan's. But then the kiss deepened, becoming more passionate and intense. Layla felt herself losing control, swept away in the moment. She wrapped her arms around Nolan's neck, her hands buried in his hair. He pulled her closer, and she felt herself falling
Carla remained speechless as she couldn't find the right word to say. She was still standing dumbstruck when Layla came out of the room."Good morning Carla.." Layla greeted as she quickly walked away, the day was Saturday and she had planned to go visit Aurora today."Good morning.." Carla managed to say back to her despite the intense heat that was running through her veins."Do you need anything else?" Nolan asked as he wanted to go back to sleep."No, no I don't.." she stammered, turning her back to leave, Nolan going inside his room. *********Layla knocked happily on Aurora's door, her face beaming with smiles. She felt so happy to be seeing her after a long time."I'm coming.." Aurora answered from inside and a few minutes later, she opened the door to see who it was."Layla!" Aurora exclaimed happily as they both hugged each other tightly."How are you, I've missed you!!' Layla pouted, still hugging Aurora."Me too, please come in.." Aurora invited as they both walked
Layla had always been drawn to Nolan but she never thought she'd act on it. He did not like her after all. But one night, everything changed. They found themselves alone together, and she couldn't resist the pull she felt towards him. From that night on, they began to hook up whenever they could. But as time went on, Layla started to develop feelings for Nolan that went beyond just physical attraction.As time went on, Layla struggled to reconcile her feelings for Nolan with the reality of their situation. She knew they couldn't be together as true mates. And she also knew that she couldn't continue to deny her feelings. So she did the only thing she could think of - she tried to distance herself from him. But every time she tried to stay away, she found herself drawn back to him. It was like a magnet, pulling her towards him no matter how hard she tried to resist.She felt maybe it was because of the mate bond between them.The more she thought about it, the more sense it made. She'
Nolan's and Xander's car arrived almost at the same time."We're here!" Xander announced happily as Layla alighted from the car along with Nolan.She stared at the open club which was buzzing with life. She shouldn't have come here. Layla immediately began to reject her decision, she felt quite uncomfortable.She rubbed her hands as she inhaled sharply, she was dressed in a simple blue jumpsuit."Come on in.." Xander invited as they all walked into the club. The music was loud and pulsing, and the lights were flashing in every direction. People were laughing and dancing, and the whole place was alive with energy. Layla was overwhelmed as she looked around. This was her first time visiting a club.She could tell this was no ordinary club, judging from the people she saw. They were all rich folks everywhere.Xander led them to a quiet corner and Nolan went to sit down immediately, he brought out a packet of cigarettes from his pockets which he began to descend on.Xander on the other ha
Nolan's eyes were fixed on Layla and Regan, a storm of emotions swirling within him. He felt a strange mixture of happiness and jealousy, a confusing combination that left him feeling unsettled. He watched as Layla laughed and danced, her face glowing with joy. He wanted to be the one to make her smile like that, to be the one to make her feel so carefree. But he also felt a pang of envy, seeing Regan so close to Layla. He knew he had no right to feel that way - after all, he was the one who had pushed Layla away.But then he allowed his anger to get the best of him as he stood up in a rage walking over to the dance floor.As Nolan approached, Layla felt a chill run down her spine. She turned and saw him, his expression dark and unreadable. Regan also noticed Nolan, and he let go of Layla's hand. "Nolan," she said, a hint of caution in her voice. "What's going on?" Nolan ignored Regan, his gaze fixed solely on Layla. "What do you think you're doing?" he asked, his tone sharp and a
Layla was seated on the hospital bed as she watched Nolan walk in, with a baby in his arms. Noelle was standing beside her mother. Layla's eyes widened as she took in the sight of her son, who was only a month old. He was a chubby, happy baby, with a thatch of dark red hair and bright blue eyes, all the kids took after their father. "Oh, my baby" she exclaimed, reaching out her arms to him. Nolan placed a sleeping Noah in Layla's arms and he snuggled as his mother carried him. “How are you doing, my love?" Nolan asked, tucking a strand of her hair that was lying on her forehead, behind her ear. She woke up a week ago and was going to be discharged that day. Nolan was the happiest person when Keisha called him, telling him that Layla had woken up from her coma. He couldn't be more grateful for he had missed her so very much. Layla looked up at Nolan, her eyes shining with love. "I'm doing better than I ever thought possible," she said, gazing down at Noah, who was sleepi
“Nolan.. “ Darren called as she approached Nolan who was sitting on one of the chairs near Layla's room." I think you should go back to the palace… '' Darren suggested, as Nolan had not stepped foot out of the hospital since Layla was brought in. She was still in a coma.“And a nanny has been assigned to take care of the baby.." he added as Nolan shook his head slowly.Nolan hadn't even had the time to have a look at his son. As he was worried about Layla. Nolan was so conflicted. He wanted to be by Layla's side, but he also felt an urgent need to hold his son. It was as if his heart was being pulled in two different directions. He knew that Layla would want him to spend time with their baby, but he couldn't bear the thought of leaving her alone.“And you should be with Noelle also.." Darren continued as it seemed like Nolan had no plans of wanting to leave.“She's been crying nonstop. I heard from Keisha that she had refused to eat her meals and locked herself up.." he informed and
“Is she still crying!" Aurora asked Keisha who stood outside the door of Noelle's room.“Yes.." Keisha muttered softly. "I feel so bad for her," Aurora said, her voice heavy with sympathy. "To be separated from her mother like that, it must be so hard for her.""I know," Keisha said, a worried frown on her face. "I wish there was something we could do to make her feel better."“f*ck!" Aurora cursed as her eyes darted to Kira who was holding her mother's hand, then it dawned on her that she was not supposed to curse in front of a small kid.But the situation they were in now was so complicated.Layla was still in a Coma and her child was just brought out from the incubator and then brought him. Noelle on the other hand has not stopped crying since the day she was brought back from the hospital. She refused to eat or even talk to anyone and Noelle was very stubborn, it was very hard to persuade her.“What should we do now? We have to make her eat" Aurora asked, but she knew that was a
Nolan stood unmoving as it seemed that his world came to an abrupt stop. He felt like he had lost everything that very moment, as his wife and daughter lay unconscious on the ground.He could still hear Noelle's heartbeat but the same couldn't be said for Layla whose heartbeats were very faint. She was literally half dead.“This is what you get… “ Carla never got to finish her statement as a blow came flying towards her.Nolan hit her so hard that she lost three of her teeth and she began to bleed.Carla staggered back, clutching her mouth and groaning in pain. She looked up at Nolan, her eyes wide with shock and fear. Carla knew it was over, Nolan was never going to spare Jet, not from the look he had on his faceBut she won at least, Layla would never get Nolan and she made sure of that and turned out victorious. Nolan would not also lose Layla but the unborn child she was carrying.A cold satisfaction settled over Carla as she realized that, even though she had been defeated, she
“You must be joking.." Layla blurted out as she couldn't believe her ears.Carla had lost her mind, what she was requesting was totally out of it. There was no way Nolan was going to do that. "I'm serious, Layla," Carla said, her voice firm. "Nolan has to give me a child, and then you'll be free to leave with Noelle. It's the only way to protect everyone.""You can't be serious!" Layla said, shaking her head in disbelief. "Nolan would never agree to this. You're delusional."Carla's face turned dark, her eyes flashing with anger. "I'm not delusional, and I'm not going to give up until I get what I want. You'd be wise to cooperate, or things could get very ugly."" You must be silly Carla... “ Layla snapped in anger. “Do I seem like I'm joking with you?" Carla raised a brow at her and then she laughed. "Nolan is going to have sex with me.. “ she spelled out word by word for them to hear. “And then I'm going to get pregnant and bear his child.." she said proudly for them t
“Car…la.. you…” Layla stuttered short of words as she pointed at Carla who was standing in front of her. Alive. The last time she heard about her, was her death and a funeral was held for her.Then how come Carla was standing in front of her? Was Carla the one who took Noelle away? It couldn't be… But then Layla remembered that Carla was her only enemy in the past. The one that wanted her dead!!"Carla?" Layla called again, her voice barely above a whisper. "But... I thought... you were..."She trailed off, unable to finish the sentence. Everyone had always thought that Carla had died in a car accident, but now she was standing right in front of her. Layla felt like she was in a dream or a nightmare.“Carla.." Nolan called with uncertainty in his voice. He was going to kill her for real this time if she had something to do with the abduction of his daughter.“Hi, baby. Missed me?" She blew a kiss at Nolan who held a disgusted look on his face.“Enough of all this Carla!!!” Layla sna
“I think you should talk to her yourself, she refused to eat anything," Keisha said to Nolan as they both stood by the door to Layla's room.It just marked 24 hours since Noelle was taken away from them.The whole pack was in turmoil as everyone was trying to find the little princess but it seemed like she just disappeared into thin air.Nolan has set out a huge cash prize for anyone who could provide for his child, while he did all he could to find her by searching the nook and cranny of the pack.Each time a guard came to give him reports, he hoped it was good news. “F*ck'' Nolan ran his hands through his hair as he exhaled sharply. He hadn't gotten sleep neither had he eaten, not that he was planning to, as he didn't mind starving as long as his little angel was brought back to him hale and hearty but the same couldn't be said for Layla. She was human and was also pregnant.“I'll talk to her.." Nolan voiced out.“Please do.." Keisha said as Nolan walked into the room. No one has
Layla was in great shock as she couldn't believe that someone would actually try to kidnap her daughter. It all happened so far and now Noelle is gone.It was like a nightmare come true. And now, her daughter was gone, and she had no idea where she was or what was happening to her. It was a parent's worst nightmare, and Layla felt like she was going to go crazy with worry.“Layla where were.." Nolan, who seemed to be waiting for her, asked the moment he saw her walk in.He couldn't find Layla and Noelle and they seemed to be taking long to arrive. She entered just when he was about to send out guards to look for them.Layla, who felt lifeless, fell into Nolan's arms as she didn't even know where to begin in telling him that his daughter was missing.“What happened to you and where the f*ck is Noelle?" He asked, alarmed as he couldn't shake off that foreboding feeling that something was wrong.“I… I… “ Layla began stammering as fresh tears flowed down from her eyes.“I seriously have
Noelle ran happily to her parents' room and she opened the door, barging into the room.“Mommy!!" She squealed happily as she jumped in the bed. Layla was asleep. “Yes, dear…” Layla groaned her eyes stuttering. She just finished serving Noelle her lunch a few minutes ago and decided to have some rest. What on earth did she want again? Layla thought as she slowly sat up from the bed." Baby mommy needs to sleep.. “ she yawned as Noelle immediately sat in her lap, wrapping her little hands around her neck. " You know mommy is pregnant with a little brother, so I need maximum rest. What do you want? “ Layla asked knowing the only reason Noelle would come was because she wanted something from her.She was taking some lessons with her governess before Layla left her." I want to go the the park!” Noelle announced her face beaming with smiles and Layla groaned tiredly." Come on Elle. Not today..* she pointed out.“Please, Mommy. Take me to the park, you need and daddy.." she requested p
